For all you fishing aficionados just dying to experience the sanity-shredding isolation of the deep sea, you'll be thrilled to know that the wait is finally over. The hotly-anticipated eldritch fishing simulator, Dredge, is set to make its splash on mobile devices on February 27th, after navigating through a few release date changes.

In Dredge, you take on the role of a nameless fisherman tasked with exploring the mysterious waters surrounding a desolate archipelago. Your primary mission? To catch fish and sustain the island's inhabitants. But the game delves deeper than just fishing; it's about managing your sanity as you uncover the eerie secrets hidden beneath the waves. What lurks in the fog at night? That's for you to discover.

As I reported late last year, Dredge's much-awaited mobile port faced a delay, pushing its initial release to February 2025. And now, that date is upon us. The iOS App Store listing for Dredge has been updated to reflect this new release date, although the Android Google Play listing has yet to go live.

Oh I do love to be beside the seasideBeyond the serene act of fishing, Dredge offers an engaging upgrade system for your boat, alongside a rich tapestry of Lovecraftian horror elements to keep you on the edge of your seat. While there's no word yet on what DLC will be available at launch, the mainline game has already seen several expansions that broaden the mysterious archipelago's scope.

With its unique low-poly aesthetic and captivating visual style, Dredge is poised to become a beloved staple among mobile gamers. The final release date is set, and excitement is building for its arrival.
